Datsun GO- just don't ask it to STOP

Actually due to it's weight it will stop better than any Tazz, citi golf, corsa lite or any one of the old cars still found on our roads.

Why o why the 160Y? Wasn't there any 120Y coupes?

I am disappointed in you Fiesta!

There was a surprisingly a very small amount of old Datsun cars on display. But eg. if you check the Borgward thread there was plenty of that.

To this day, I want a nice 120Y Coupe.

But they are so scarce... The ones you do get go for about R 100k (Already done up)

Great pricing for a suitable trade up from a Tazz / Uno / Citi Golf / Scooter. If they could stick ABS in there it would be a lot safer as it would reduce speed of imapct a lot and reduce tin-can-cumple
